In `DeltaABC`, seg `BD` bisects `/_ABC`. If `AB=x`, `BC=x+5`, `AD=x-2`, `DC=x+2`. Find the value of `x`. |

Answer» In `DeltaABC`, seg `BD` bisects `/_ABC` `:.` by the theorem of angle bisector of a triangle, `(AB)/(BC)=(AD)/(DC)` `:.(x)/(x+5)=(x-2)/(x+2)` `:.x(x+2)=(x-2)(x+5)` `:.x^(2)+2x=x(x+5)-2(x+5)` `:.x^(2)+2x=x^(2)+5x-2x-10` `:.2x=3x-10 ` `:. 2x-3x=-10` `:.-x=-10` `:.x=10` |
